Today, January 20th, is the celebration of "Take A Walk Outdoor Day".
Are they kidding us? Who in his or her right mind is going to go for a walk today in this frigid morning? Certainly not me, I can tell you that much!
My walk will be done soon, but indoor and without leaving my warm house.
I have all the space needed to walk right here, so why would I go out today and freeze myself?
Unless you live right now in a warm country or state, do you?

It's sleeting, now it turned to snow, this is an inside day for sure - let's declare it 'eat chocolate day' instead.

@ivyparkgirl Not all the countries are warm like the south of the United States. Marlina lives in Canada, it's not a warm country, as it is not Switzerland.

They are nutz that's for sure. Wild horses couldn't drag me out today. I love @AbbyGreenhill suggestion though, lol. Sounds good to me.

I used to walk with friends before school at 5:30 AM. For some reason, it seemed still outside, and I was warm from just rolling out of bed. Of course, the fact that I bundled up and wore glove liners under my thick mittens helped. I don't believe I will ever do it again, so I don't blame you. There are all kinds of exercises you can do in the warmth of your house.

It was in the low seventies and sunny where I live yesterday. I spent as much time as possible outside, as it has been too cold for me to do so recently. I love those little gifts of nice weather and drop everything to enjoy them when they show up.

@marlina There are stretches of time when we have perfection days or weeks in a row. Some people think this might be boring, but it never is to me. It is glorious.

But the day is young, so we shall see yet.

It is cold here, but not snow and I am one of the people who took a walk today, in the cold. I take a walk every day, even in the rain with an umbrella, it is so good for my arthritis.

@marlina brave or crazy...lol if i don't get out , I won't walk in the house, except to the fridge. If i sit too long my knees just seem to lock.. I was in an accident a few years back, where my knees hit the dash board they were swollen for along time and never healed right

warmish despite being winter, but that's normal for here. And that is a crazy time in Canada for encouragements of that nature!

@ivyparkgirl It was sad they lost, but that Hail Mary Aaron Rodgers threw again made the game worth watching. I also didn't fully expect them to win, not after the huge loss we had against them a few weeks ago. I'm happy the game was a lot closer and went into overtime. It was a very good game. So I'm sad they lost, but I'm also not sad. I hope that last made sense.

Of course when it's freezing outside , i won't take a walk outside. 
That' is nice because you have all the space you need for a walk at the comfort of your house .
